Union officials from Australia, Barbados, Britain, Canada, India, Sierra Leone and Tanzania have been named as the steering committee of the newly-formed Commonwealth Trade Union Council (CTUC) . Dennis McDermott, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, was appointed chairman of the council, whose chief aim is promoting the interests of trade unions and some 25m workers in the Commonwealth, specially those in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Mr. Len Murray, General Secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, said he hoped the new organization, officially formed on March 1, could help further the dialogue between the nations of the industrialized North and the developing South.
C
The Sokoto Match Factory, opened in 1978, has been closed down due to acute shortage of spare pans, lack of raw materials and cash flow problems. The general manager of the company, Mr. Nasir Mikhali, regretted the closure because he had thought the project was viable. The factory was a joint venture of the Sokoto State Government, Messrs Alawa A/C factory, and PAPCO (Nigeda) Ltd. It had 50 employees and was producing about 27, 000 canons of good quality matches a year. The workers went on strike.
D
The meeting of the International Tin Council in London earlier this month decided to raise the price range of the buffer stock by ten percent. This lifted the " floor" from 1, 500 ringgit (Malaysian dollars) per picul (133 1/31bs) to M 1, 650 per picul and the " ceiling" from M 1, 950 to M 2, 145. At last week’s exchange rates that would make the floor a bit under 6, 000 a tonne and the ceiling over 7, 250 a tonne, with the middle belt, where the buffer stock manager may neither buy nor sell without special permisson, from about 6, 150 a tonne just over 6, 700 a tonne.
1 The company has been out of business.
2 Tin’s price was raised.
3 Bank appoints chief Michael Omisade to the chairman of a branch bank.
4 Trade union is formed.
5 The organization aims to further the dialogue between the developed countries and developing countries.
6 It produces about 27, 000 canons of matches a year.
7 He beat his competitor and gained the appointment.
选项
答案C
解析 " 该公司已经倒闭了。" C段中有" has been closed down…" ，此处的close down与be out of business意思一致，所以选C。
